Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Rack Server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It is designed for organisations that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity and integrated remote management via iDRAC8 Enterprise. The PERC H730 SAS controller handles RAID duties for up to eight hot-swap bays.

Suits virtualisation hosts

The dual 10-core CPUs and large memory pool support consolidated virtual machines or database instances. Buyers who need more than 768 GB of RAM, more than two processor sockets or a chassis that accepts 2.5-inch drives should look at a different platform.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 8-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the H730 controller. If the deployment requires that exact bay count and RAID feature set, this server matches; otherwise a different chassis or controller is required.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server into a standard rack, and which step is often missed?

Mount the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis using the optional rail kit, then secure both 495 W power supplies and connect the PERC H730 cables to the 3.5" drive backplane before powering on.

What components will need replacement after extended operation?

The two 495 W power supplies and system fans are the primary field-replaceable units; DDR4 ECC memory modules and 3.5" SATA drives can also be swapped without removing the motherboard.

Which limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors run at full load continuously?

The dual 495 W power supply budget and chassis airflow define the thermal ceiling; sustained 10-core activity across both CPUs will hit that envelope before memory or storage bandwidth saturates.
